BIGGA is proud to support the third annual Women in Golf Awards and is inviting nominations for anyone who you consider to be a worthy candidate in the category of 'Women in Turfcare', won in 2023 by Amanda Dorans of Loch Lomond Golf Club.
On 28 November women - and men - from across the industry will be heading to Foxhills to congratulate the winners of this year’s Women in Golf Awards.
Nominations for this annual celebration are now open across eight categories and will close at midnight on 30 September. The awards recognise the contribution of women at every stage of their careers, across the many disciplines in which they work.

“The Women in Golf Awards unearth incredible stories and introduce us to just some of the remarkable women working across the industry,” said Nicole Wheatley, co-founder of the awards. “If you know a woman who is making a significant impact in the role that they hold, inspires you and others or deserves acknowledgment for their contribution to golf then please take the time to nominate her. Creating visibility of women excelling in their fields will encourage more to take up a career in golf. This is important because becoming more diverse will reap benefits for the industry as a whole.”
The categories and respective sponsors are as follows:
- Unsung Hero, sponsored by England Golf
- Brand of the Year, sponsored by the BGIA
- International Woman, sponsored by Perry Ellis
- Women’s Initiative, sponsored by PING
- Women in Turfcare, sponsored by BIGGA

Nominations can be made on www.womeningolfawards.co.uk until midnight on 30 September. As well as providing reasons for the nominations, nominators will be asked to provide examples of the impact that the nominee has made in their field. The judging panel will select three finalists in each category who will be invited to attend the awards ceremony at Foxhills on 28 November, where the winners will be announced.
The ballot for free tickets also remains open through the website www.womeningolfawards.co.uk with a limited number of heavily subsidised tickets available to purchase from October.
